Flight Pay

Hiya,

I was wondering about flight pay... I have two friends who just commissioned aviation and their units told them to be prepared to fly five days a week. Do they receive drill pay for each of these days? Are they paid essentially as full-timers? I also saw something about a $200 per month bonus...

Just like every service member, their pay is determined by the status they are in. They could get paid each day individually, multiple drills, or be on extended orders (active duty) too many variables. If they are not on active duty they get prorated flight pay for the days they are on duty, regardless of being in the air.
